Title: Window milling and measurement apparatus with bypass valve
Inventor: HARDY MEL
IPC: B09C1/08
Filed: 2000-01-21
Abstract: A one trip apparatus and method involves a bypass valve 22 operated in conjunction with an MWD tool in a bottomhole assembly. The milling system 14 for the window, the whipstock 10, and the anchor are run in together with the bypass valve 22 and MWD tool. The whipstock 10 is oriented using the MWD tool with circulation through the bypass valve 22. The bypass valve 22 is actuated to close and lock to allow subsequent setting of the packer or bridge plug once the whipstock 10 has been properly orientated. The bypass valve 22 is movably responsive to fluid flow in a first direction and in an opposite second direction under a biasing force preferably a spring 46. The milling system is supported to the whipstock between a pair of blocks 106, Fig 2b and the mere rotation of the mills allows for formation of the window as the lower block 106 is milled away. The milling system 14 is held to the whipstock 10 with pins 146, Fig 3a through blocks. The pins 146 are capable of handling greater shear loads than shear pins which have in the past been used to secure the mills to the whipstock.

Title: A regulated power supply for in cylinder ionization detection using a charge pump
Inventor: ZHU GUOMING GEORGE
IPC: F02D41/14
Filed: 2003-10-30
Abstract: A charge pump 98 is used to supply current to an ionization detection circuit 80. To detect in-cylinder ions generated during the combustion process, a DC bias voltage needs to be applied. There are two prior art methods of generating the DC bias: conventional DC power supply (requiring large electronics) and capacitor charges by primary or secondary flyback voltage (requiring a high voltage capacitor). This invention proposes to use a high voltage charge pump to provide enough DC bias voltage for measuring ionization current. In a preferred embodiment, a model number MIC4827 EL driver U5 is used in the charge pump circuit. The charge pump circuit will convert the 12 Volt DC at the B+ terminal to a 90 to 100 volt pulse train with a pulse repetition frequency of 500 kHz at the charge pump output.
